I'm all set to go back to school but I can't say that I'm very pleased with the shit barn that is York University and its deminutive bilingual mother-in-law Glendon College. My last go at choosing courses way back in 2003 was fun and easy. I got into almost every course I wanted and the selections allowed me to take classes when it was convienent. This time, however, I was unable to get into courses I needed, let alone wanted.
I'm at 60% of a course load (not entirely by choice either {no choice whatsoever}. I'm kinda [actually] on probation after failing most of my courses and dropping out... ouch.) but I digress... really I just lost my train of thought. Oh right, I'm taking 60% (three full year courses) right now. One of them is A) required and B) counting toward my major, but the other two essentially work out to electives that don't even satisfy my general education requirement. True, one is French which is required, but I doubt I'll be staying at Glendon forever, making it useless.
The other issue is that I don't qualify for residence because my academic record is poopy and because my course load is too small. I'm content with commuting, even if it is 4-6 hours a day, but not if I have to do it 3 or 4 days a week to only get 60% of a year of school done. Tommorow I intend to add my name to the waitlist for every course at Glendon, EVERY COURSE. Even if I don't have the prereqs, or if I can't take the course for some crazy half French reason.
In conclusion, I hate bilingualism, living in Siberia, assy regional public transport and too few class spaces and I wanna throw a molotov cocktail or other alcoholic beverage related weapon at something (that was sarcasm, I really have no intent or will to do any such thing).
Keep on Trangling,
Anthony

throw beverages at me i need it , tis really hot here.
I always get hot when I wear a wig. The heat can't escape off the top of your head.
I bombed out of my most of my classes the first time I went to college too. I just went back and now have a degree - finally - and graduated magna cum laude. It's never too late to make it happen! Maybe you need a little time off from school? Is that a possibility?
I hate wigs for the very reason.
i am experiencing the same sort of bs at glendon right now regarding getting back in there in september. i like to say that i took a year off to reflect- but really i dropped out because i had such a brutally depressing time there and every time i went back, the sight of it (and most especially the sight of donavan) gave me a stomach ache.
my advice to you (and to myself) is to just keep at it. at the end of it all, you get a b.a and that's at least worth something.
I agree with Diadima; get the BA, then give yourself however many years it takes to work yourself out. Alright, if you lose the BA, mweah, but stick it out if you can.
And I agree with Ubermilf; only wear wigs when it's cooler. Wigs on hot days? A mistake. Always a mistake.
I have questions for you, Antonio. You didn't ask for them. I'm not going to let that stop me.
1. Did anyone ever rent a video that made you cringe inside? Why? Because it was nasty porn, or a really bad movie?
2. Did anyone ever break your heart? If so, relive your pain for us now, please.
3. What music did you listen to in your youth that you are now ashamed of?
4. If you had to live in anyone's basement for the rest of your life, whose would it be?
5. Which Canadian would you rather kiss on the lips: Neil Young, or Howie Mandel?
That's me by the way. If you couldn't tell from the crazy half French stick figure.
